Bin Jousting. A feat of endurance and sheer determination played out within the campsites of Boodstock Open Air festival year in year out. Often a bane of security staff's lives, I propose that a bin jousting arena is set up (similar to that of the full contact sword fighting arena) in which participants sign a liability waiver to allow them to participate in what has become a true bloodstock tradition, without creating what is currently a health and safety nightmare in the eyes of officials on site.

Making the bin jousting available to those who wish to partake, in a controlled environment and waiving all liability from the festival organisers (much like an assault course, extreme sports or paintballing would require) would additionally draw more festival goers into the main arena at scheduled times and would allow security staff to focus on more pressing issues. Introduce a score board, league table for the teams of bin riders and pushers and perhaps a prize at the end of the weekend and we could really take this world renowned Bloodstock legend to the next level.

Let's do this, people of BLOODSTOCKKKKK!

As a regular for the past 3 years I think this makes total sense. Let us binjoust to our hearts content.

I don't partake but I love to watch. An official area with 2 bins would keep the bins in the campsites for their intended use.

Get companies and bands to sponsor the bins and the extra staff/medical tent ;)

People will find a way to do this anyway. They always do. Why not make a feature that no other festival has.

This is what we've all been waiting for!!! It would have to be held between 1 and 3 a.m. though as that's when we do it normally

its just a traditional element of the festival, one of the many night time shenanigans that sets bloodstock apart from any other fest, and I'd keep coming back, just for that even if I liked none of the bands that year.
